Lung volume reduction (LVR) produces significant clinical and objective improvement in selected patients with diffuse emphysema. Unilateral and bilateral approaches have been successfully employed. A median sternotomy approach is the standard for bilateral LVR, whereas video-assisted thoracoscopy has been used to perform unilateral LVR. Encouraging video-assisted thoracoscopic results with sequential, staged, bilateral LVR have been shown. This report describes an alternate technique of single-stage, bilateral LVR for end-stage emphysema.
肺减容术(LVR)能使部分弥漫性肺气肿患者在临床和客观指标上得到显著改善。单侧和双侧手术方法均已成功应用。正中胸骨切开术是双侧LVR的标准术式,而电视辅助胸腔镜已用于实施单侧LVR。已有研究显示,序贯、分期双侧LVR的电视辅助胸腔镜手术结果令人鼓舞。本报告描述了一种用于终末期肺气肿的单阶段双侧LVR替代技术。
